Hello from day 3 of the Cherry Creek Arts Fest. No rain yet but I’ve got lots of plastic sheets wrapped around my tent just in case. 60% chance of thunderstorms– hoping it holds out until I get to my next hotel later tonight… I set up a ‘hotspot’ on my iPhone and now I can use the internet on my computer and update my website through my phone connection. Technology is so groovy sometimes.. I’m usually a couple steps behind (and ok with that — I’m actually trying to be a little more primitive in most matters).

Mushrooms I, II, III – Cut Paper Art
Each paper cutting measures 5 x 7 inches. I like mushrooms.. I always thought it would be cool to sit underneath one.
I made my way to Boulder, CO, today.. and I can barely keep my eyes open. I hit up the Pearl Street Mall for some dinner and walking around (and to check out my location for the Boulder show in a few weeks). I also wanted to check in with a gallery I’ve got some stuff in here.. forgetting today is a holiday. I’ll be heading to Denver tomorrow to set up for the Cherry Creek Arts Fest. As I drove around Denver and into Boulder, the haze was so thick that I never even saw the mountains until I was actually IN Boulder… Crazy… maybe the smoke from the fires, I’d assume. More soon.

Sunflowers in the Sky II – Cut Paper Art & random other info..
8 x 10 inch paper cutting.
Many thanks to all the folks that came out to my talk at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library yesterday! We were about 2 seats shy of a full room, and I managed to ramble on for almost a full hour and a half. This talk was in conjunction with the “A Cut Above” exhibit at the Alice Sabatini Gallery inside the library. This exhibit closes July 13.
In other (un)news, one of my life “facets” is to always be aware of the step you’re about to take, always know the step you just took, and feel the ground as you walk. This morning, I was doing none of the above while walking barefoot and I’m quite sure I broke one of my toes. Luckily, one that is little utilized.. It gave me an excuse to lay on the couch for an hour with my feet propped (while I should be working on a paper cutting…)
And last but not least, I thought I should put out the word for potential Etsy buyers that I will be keeping my shop open while I’m traveling for my next three shows, but I won’t be shipping any orders placed on Tuesday and after until I return on July 25. You’re welcome to order if you don’t mind waiting a bit.
Til next time…
Owl at Dusk – Cut Paper Art
8 x 10 inch paper cutting. Hoot.
The Sun is Mighty – Cut Paper Art
11 x 14 inch paper cutting. I’m not really sure where this came from.. it’s a little different from my usual but I felt like doing it so I did it. The underlying idea is basically that we humans are just small fries even though we tend to think we’re much bigger than we are.
The title especially rings true here in Kansas where the 10 day forecast expects 100+ degree days and zero precipitation. Today hit 103.. I lucked out having finished all my outdoor art festivals here. And, I feel so lucky that I have working A/C in my house. I remember a few summers when I lived in Brooklyn without it… Miserable.
